C'est What?
Visit the fairs enough years in a row and you see there's always some element that threads it way through the various venues. One year it was trees. Another, books. Last year it was brains. This year it's not so much a theme as a particular approach to handling materials. While we think of draping as a way to shape a garment, here we see it as a way to shape sculpture, dimensionalize painting, obfuscate an image, or suggest dimension via tromp l'oeil means. What I love about the draping (and folding and gathering) here is that it gives me a way to take you through a wide range of the art and materials I saw, contemporary and modern, from galleries around the world.
